They Are Coming: Scarred by a brutal past, former Army Ranger Jake Coyle has found a lonely paradise at a fire lookout in the mountains above Los Angeles. Now paradise is about to burn. As a wildfire ignites, four hired gunmen enter the forest with Coyle in their sights, seeking vengeance for the death of a woman Coyle failed to protect. Haunted by guilt, Coyle is torn between running and accepting his fate. Then, as a deadly firestorm rips through the trees, Kate Sever and her young son, Zach, are thrust into Coyle's nightmare. Fleeing through the forest, one step ahead of the bullets and flames, Coyle's only hope for redemption lies in keeping Kate and Zach safe, and their best chance at survival depends on the one person they may not be able to trust: Jake Coyle.
